Scientific paper

A model of cosmic-ray origin, in which the cosmic-ray injection rate is proportional to such indicators of activity as SNR birthrate, is presented to describe the flux of high-energy gamma-rays and the radio synchrotron radiation expected from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and to compare them to those of the Galaxy. Flux of the order of 10 to the -6th/sq cm s above 100 MeV, predicted by the model for the LMC, conforms to the assertion that a flux of less than 10 to the -7th/sq cm s above 100 MeV would not only exclude the metagalactic origin models, but would contradict the current concepts of cosmic-ray production and propagation.
